Statement by Alexandr Vondra concerning new information about Entropa

I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that the creator of the work of art Entropa was in fact David Černý and that is was not made by 27 artists representing all the EU Member States. The contract between the Office of the Government and the artist clearly stated, that the creation should be a joint project involving artist from all 27 EU countries. David Černý bears the full responsibility for not fulfilling his assignment and promise. In this situation we are now considering which steps to take. We will publish more information on the subject Thursday 15 January 2009.
